Vision
High Quality Education at Affordable Cost
Our vision is high quality education at an affordable cost — a safe, warm, healthy school where every child grows with both the theoretical and practical knowledge they truly need.
About us
A small school with a big story.
Since 2052 B.S., Nawakunja has been shaping curious, kind, confident learners in Siddhipur.
Our story
Rooted in Siddhipur. Built for every child.
Nawakunja English Medium School was established in 2052 B.S. (1995 A.D.) at Mahalaxmi-6, Siddhipur, Lalitpur. What began as a neighbourhood school has grown into a warm, inclusive community known for small class sizes, caring teachers, and a joyful, activity-rich classroom culture.
We are an English-medium school — and we take the medium seriously. English is used across the day in a supportive, immersive way, alongside strong Nepali language development. Children grow up comfortable, confident, and articulate in both.
Most importantly, we are a child-first school. Our teachers are trained to see each learner as a whole person — their curiosity, their home, their strengths, their struggles. That is the work that brings us to school every morning.
Mission
Transdisciplinary, design-thinking, child-first
Our mission is to build essential soft skills through an integrated, transdisciplinary curriculum. Our pedagogy follows the 5E approach — Engagement, Exploration, Explanation, Elaboration, Evaluation — layered with the 7E model for deeper inquiry. We implement the curriculum through critical thinking: helping children transform what they know by harvesting the new, the unexpected, and the extraordinary.
Our campus
A small campus that feels big to a child
Nawakunja's campus in Siddhipur, Lalitpur is compact, bright, and child-scaled. A multi-storey brick main building with wide balconies houses classrooms and the audio-visual / smart-board room. A separate block holds early-years rooms and washrooms. A fenced playground with slides and climbing frames and a green-turf surface sits at the heart of the campus, wrapped around a brick-paved courtyard where we gather every morning for assembly under the Nepali flag.

Our teachers
Teachers who keep learning
Nawakunja teachers hold weekly professional-development sessions on the smart board — design thinking, integrated curriculum planning, differentiated instruction, and inclusive practice. Our teachers don't just deliver lessons; they study them, revise them, and teach each other. That habit is why children at Nawakunja feel genuinely met.
- Weekly staff PD: design thinking, 5E/7E lesson design, assessment literacy
- Peer observation and feedback — teachers visit each other's classes
- Curriculum planning aligned with Government of Nepal CDC frameworks
- Inclusive-education practice for diverse learning needs

Principal’s message
A letter to our families
As a principal I have realised that helping students truly learn is a tough, beautiful job. It asks for more than the desire to teach — it asks for proven and innovative approaches, tailored to each child. The best way to reach children is to engage them practically and joyfully, activating their creativity and exploratory abilities while balancing the theoretical with the hands-on. Since adopting this approach, we have seen positive impact across all students. Engaging children creatively in their studies also brings moral values into their lives — we see it in the good manners they carry inside school and outside it.

एक प्रिन्सिपलको रूपमा मैले बुझेको छु कि विद्यार्थीहरूलाई सिकाउनु सजिलो होइन। यसका लागि सिकाउने चाहना मात्र पर्याप्त हुँदैन — प्रमाणित र नवीन सिकाइ विधिहरू प्रत्येक बच्चाको आवश्यकताअनुसार प्रयोग गर्नुपर्छ। बच्चालाई व्यावहारिक र रमाइलो तरिकाले सहभागी गराउँदा, उनीहरूको रचनात्मकता र खोजशक्ति सक्रिय हुन्छ। यो तरिका अपनाएपछि सबै विद्यार्थीहरूमा सकारात्मक परिवर्तन देखिएको छ — विद्यालयमा मात्र होइन, बाहिर पनि उनीहरूको राम्रो व्यवहारले यो प्रमाणित गर्छ।
Committed to inclusive education, supporting diverse learners — including children with different learning needs.
